Why psychology? Hmm… well, i’m trying to promote understanding to oneself and others.
It fascinates me a lot, that our mind contains sooooo much of thoughts.
I’ve started reading quite some time ago, like 1 - 2 years back..
Well, i finally thought of writing it here.. sharing with all of you.. and helping myself to remember.. because, i’m having problems remembering.. =P
Well.. Here goes :
Qn1. What is Transactional Analysis?
Ans:
- It is a way of analyzing how people deal with each other and how they can change their lives by correcting their behavioral mistakes.
- It focuses on what goes on inside of people instead of between them.
- It shows people how to act differently with each other in social transactions, rather than helping them to understand why they were emotionally disturbed.
Qn2. How to know a person?
Ans:
- By watching the interactions of his or her ego states.
Qn3. What are the ego states?
Ans:
-Normal personality ego states comprises 3 parts: The child, the Parent and the Adult.
- the child : creative and emotional part of the self.
- the parent : composed of a set of attitudes about people and life that function in us as if they were prerecorded tapes.
- the adult: a rational " human computer " .
Now let’s cover about strokes.
Qn4. what is ’strokes’ ?
Ans:
- It can be physical or verbal and are defined as the basic unit of human recognition. (i.e saying i love you or praises. Hugs)
